5 Steps To A Better Lawn And Garden

26/7/2020

If you’re lucky enough to have a lawn with a good topsoil base, much of the hard work of keeping a lawn beautiful is already done for you. But many of us do not have this luxury, and besides, even with a good topsoil base, you still have to work hard to keep a beautiful lawn and garden.
Step 1 - Mowing the Lawn
The best time to mow a lawn is when it is cool and dry. Wait for the morning dew to dry off before the afternoon heat takes hold. Alternatively, late afternoon or early evening following a watering in the morning is also a good time.

Step 2 - Hedges are Better than Fences
A hedge is a much better boundary divider than a fence. It will provide better privacy and keep pets and children in ñ or out. It will attract birds to its shelter, and provide a great backdrop for plants and flowers.

Step 3 - Hyacinths
Bring the beauty of your garden to you; plant hyacinths near walkways and doors. Their magnificent perfume will swamp the spring air and make your garden really come alive.

Step 4  - Add Non-garden Items
Add non-garden items to your garden, such as lampposts and mail boxes. Surround these items with flowers planted to take advantage of the earliest to the latest flowerings. You could have white snowdrops, purple and gold crocus, blue hyacinths, and various colored tulips. You can also surround the posts with rocks to provide added interest.

Step 5 - Weed Control
Simple, but effective weed control can be achieved on your lawn by mowing often during spring. This will prevent dandelions spreading by eliminating the yellow blossoms and preventing seed formation. Mow high during late spring and early summer. This will allow grass blades to shade the ground, and will help prevent crabgrass from sprouting.
